Church World Services:
This organization puts together School Kits and/or Hygiene Kits (among other services). CWU helps with this project. This year the In-gathering will be held at three local areas (see below). Kits are sent wherever the need is greatest. During the May 2019 tornados, our own area was the recipient of CWS kits! NOTE: Please follow the instructions on the procedures and forms file! |
Many of our CWU churches reported compiling / sending / ordering hundreds of kits in September 2022! These included both School Kits and Hygiene kits; kits were sent to depots from which they were shipped to centers for distribution to areas of need.
Thank you to all those who contributed to this event!

Mercy Manor:
Support Mercy Manor by sending in your monetary donations directly to Mercy Manor or through Church Women United. The annual banquet was the primary fundraiser for Mercy Manor and that banquet had to be cancelled in 2020 and again in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Please check back to get details of the 2022 banquet. MERCY MANOR is one of CWU's most cherished projects; indeed it was started by CWU! Please consider donating your time, wish-list items, and/or money to support Mercy Manor! Executive Director, Barbara Hudson-Banner spoke to our CWU Board on several occasions this year. |
